What makes it an even greater activity in fall are the colors which are in no way inferior to the Indian summer on the East Coast. Fall foliage turns the Oregon and Washington forests into colorful, picture perfect sceneries. Yellow, organge, red and purple leaves dominate the colour palette throughout October and November. As day temperatures are still pleasant, rising fog adds to the mystic fall vibe. If you catch a sunny day you will be rewarded with a magical atmosphere and crisp air, no matter if you aim for a big waterfall or simply choose an enjoyable hike through the PNW-woods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"870\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"fall hikes through yellow fall foliage in the Pacific Northwest\"  class=\"wp-image-28251 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-5-1160x870.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-5-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-5-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-5-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-5-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-5-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-5-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-5.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"870\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"fall at Dry Creek Falls Oregon\"  class=\"wp-image-28255 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-7-1160x870.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-7-1160x870.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-7-800x600.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-7-320x240.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-7-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-7-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-7-560x420.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Dry-Creek-Falls-7.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another advantage of fall hikes: The mosquitos are most likely gone, which makes every outdoor activity closeby water so much more enjoyable. Everyone who has been camping around a lake in summer knows what I&#8217;m talking about<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2-fall-foliage-at-portland-japanese-garden\"><\/span>#2 Fall foliage at Portland Japanese Garden<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>As fall kicks in also cities and their parks turn into multicolored playgrounds. One of the best places to admire colorful fall foliage within Portland\u2019s city limits is the Portland Japanese Garden. Beautifully grown and maintained trees, segmented into eight different garden styles from the area, which is home to native deciduous trees and conifers, as well as plenty of Japanese maples. Their fiery-hued maple leaves turn the Portland Japanese Garden into a picture ferfect scenery. Stone bridges overspan meandering streams and ponds, you can stroll on winding walkways and on a clear day you will even be able to spot Mount Hood in the distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"fall foliage at Portland Japanese Garden\"  class=\"wp-image-26265 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-36-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-36-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-36-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-36-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-36-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-36-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-36.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"653\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"view of Mount Hood from Portland Japanese Garden\"  class=\"wp-image-26253 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-30-1160x653.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-30-1160x653.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-30-800x450.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-30-320x180.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-30-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-30-560x315.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/USA_Portland_Japanese_Garden-30.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You will love to wrap up your day at Umami Caf\u00e9 (located within Portland Japanese Garden facilities) or check out Behind the Museum Caf\u00e9 (Downtown Portland) for some authentic Japanese snacks and tea.

While the answer of Europeans would most likely be sauna, the majority of Americans seems to prefer hot tubs. Otherwise there is no proper reason why many cabins, vacation rentals and hotels incorporate hot tubs into their facilities, while saunas are rarely to be found &#8211; an absolute miss in my opinion!

But for me there is a huge difference between a hot tub filled with chlorinated water and a natural hot spring. As the name already says: Hot spring pools are naturally formed and filled with mineralized thermal water that comes straight out of a natural spring. Most likely natural hot springs are located in forests, deserts and often surrounded by beautiful nature. I fell in love with hot springs back in Japan. The ones who follow me along know that I have a huge faible for the so called \u2018Onsen\u2019 baths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"928\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"soaking in Umpqua Hot Springs, Oregon\"  class=\"wp-image-28274 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Umpqua-Hot-Springs-1160x928.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Umpqua-Hot-Springs-1160x928.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Umpqua-Hot-Springs-800x640.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Umpqua-Hot-Springs-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Umpqua-Hot-Springs-1536x1229.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Umpqua-Hot-Springs-320x256.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Umpqua-Hot-Springs-560x448.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Umpqua-Hot-Springs.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>When I learned that the Pacific Northwest is full of natural hot springs my heart jumped for joy. In fact Washington, Oregon and especially nearby Idaho are absolute hot spring go-to destinations thanks to the geothermal activity in these states. I&#8217;ve visited 3 different hot springs so far: Umpqua Hot Springs and Alvord Desert Hot Springs in Oregon, as well as Kirkham Hot Springs in Idaho. But the list of hot springs I still want to visit goes far beyond. Definitely on my ever-growing fall bucket-list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6-farm-visits-pumpkin-patches-corn-mazes\"><\/span>#6 Farm visits, pumpkin patches &amp; corn mazes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Every fall season in the Pacific Northwest gets kicked-off with visiting to a local farm, harvesting pumpkins, getting lost in a corn maze and enjoying freshly sqeezed apple cider. It&#8217;s a long tradition and fun family activity to welcome the colorful fall season and get ready for the cooler days to come. Not only seasonal and locally grown vegetables are on everyone&#8217;s shopping list.

It&#8217;s far more than just a fun experience for kids, this is also serious business for grown-up\u2019s of any age &#8211; and so are the huge corn mazes. Every year farmers throughout the state put a lot of work into carving pathways into parts of their corn fields to create mazes with annually modified and highly creative motifs. Definitely worth to take a look from above. Thanks to our drone we were able to check out the best way in &amp; out of the maze at Bauman&#8217;s Farm without actually getting lost&#8230; \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"bigfoot corn maze drone photography\"  class=\"wp-image-28231 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-23-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-23-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-23-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-23-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-23-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-23-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-23.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Bauman&#039;s pumpkin field, Oregon\"  data-id=\"28214\"  data-full-url=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-15.jpg\"  data-link=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/default-43\/\"  class=\"wp-image-28215 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-15-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-15-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-15-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-15-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-15-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-15-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-15.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Bauman&#039;s Fram pumpkin field from above\"  data-id=\"28226\"  data-full-url=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-21.jpg\"  data-link=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/default-49\/\"  class=\"wp-image-28227 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-21-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-21-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-21-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-21-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-21-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-21-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Oregon-Baumans-Pumpkin-Farm-21.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"pumpkin field at Bauman&#039;s Farm &amp;

from fall to winter and the welcoming of the holiday season (along with Christmas and New Year) in the USA and Canada is marked by the most important family celebration: Thanksgiving. This celebration, originated as a harvest festival, takes place every 4<sup>th<\/sup> Thursday in November. As it&#8217;s an official bank holiday and most likely the start of a long weekend, where families come together to feast and enjoy themselves. Traditionally the entire family gets involved into dinner preparations. Roast, often stuffed turkey served with mashed potatoes, gravy and cranberry sauce is the classic serving. Green beans, corn and pumpkin pie as dessert traditionally round it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"traditional Thanksgiving Menu in the USA: turkey with sides of seasonal vegetables\"  class=\"wp-image-28287 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-4-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-4-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-4-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-4-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-4-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-4-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-4.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery columns-2 is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\"><ul class=\"blocks-gallery-grid\"><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"frisch geschmorter Truthahn Thanksgiving\"  data-id=\"28284\"  data-full-url=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-3.jpg\"  data-link=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/usa-thanksgiving-3\/\"  class=\"wp-image-28285 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-3-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-3-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-3-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-3-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-3-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-3-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-3.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure><\/li><li class=\"blocks-gallery-item\"><figure><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"773\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Thanksgiving Men\u00fc Gem\u00fcse-Beilagen\"  data-id=\"28282\"  data-full-url=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-2.jpg\"  data-link=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/usa-thanksgiving-2\/\"  class=\"wp-image-28283 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1160px) 100vw, 1160px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-2-1160x773.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-2-1160x773.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-2-800x533.jpg 800w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-2-320x213.jpg 320w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-2-560x373.jpg 560w, https:\/\/smile4travel.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/USA-Thanksgiving-2.jpg 1920w\" ><\/figure><\/li><\/ul><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>But Thanksgiving isn&#8217;t only for families. Friendsgiving became a popular tradition over recent years and is celebrated throughout the entire fall. Maybe this is the secret behind Friendsgiving being so popular: There are no strict rules on timing, classic dishes or traditions. Friendsgiving is all about having a great time with your friends &#8211; and welcoming the holiday season of course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1160\"  height=\"774\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Friendsgiving at Graham &amp;

Located off the North Washington Coast close to the Canadian border the San Juans are known as one of the best places worldwide for whale watching. As summer peak season (July &amp; August) attracts a lot of visitors, fall is a great time to visit the San Juan Islands. Temperatures are still pleasant during the day as the San Juans get a lot of sunny days during fall. The whales are around all year anyways. So if you make the San Juan Islands a fall adventure destination you can avoid the crowds, benefit from lower prices and even combine your trip with a fall tour across Washington State. From North Cascades National Park to Columbia River Gorge the fall foliage in Washington gets pretty close to the iconic Indian Summer on the East Coast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"10-visit-the-pacific-coast-in-fall-and-winter\"><\/span>#10 Visit the Pacific Coast in fall and winter<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Besides the opportunity to watch whales in the Pacific Ocean, visiting the Pacific Coast is an incredible experience in fall and winter for many reasons. Everyone who thinks the Pacific Ocean is only a great destination during summer months, has never been to the Oregon or Washington Coast.
